Milk Supply
ADFC will enter into our standard form Milk Supply Contract (both exclusive and non-exclusive) with a supplier in the following circumstances:
- The supplier has a demonstrated ability to consistently meet the quality requirements set out in our Milk Supply Policy.
- The supplier is a shareholder of ADFC (or agrees to become a shareholder of ADFC).
- The supplier holds a current food safety licence from its relevant state regulatory authority.
- The supplier is able to supply milk on an all-year-round basis.
- The supplier is capable of supplying at least 800 litres of milk per collection
- The supplier is located in one of ADFC’s milk collection regions (which currently covers the majority of Victoria).
- The supplier has a collection point that a milk tanker can safely access on an all-year-round basis.
- ADFC currently has the capacity to accept the supplier’s milk based on the current needs of ADFC customers.
ADFC took a really personal approach from day one, making it clear we would fit in well. Since signing the contract seven years ago, we haven’t looked back.
